leaders Of the Conservative, Free Con-
ssrvative and National Liberal groups
have formed q combination in favor
Of an increase Of the duties.
II the National Liberals followed
an isolated policy they would contend
only for further protection in favor OF

dustrlts, but in order TO obtain high
prices In their own interests they have
had TO combine with the Conservative
to obtain increase protection Tor the
agricultural interests. Toe whole

TIE EVENT OF THE wKKK
Of the greatest interest, both In tinsn.
clal circles and to the general public,
has been the reported formation OF
the great spirit monopoly company.
There Is some doubt, however, not.
withstanding the confident assertions
Of interested parties whether the com.
psny really has been formed. Some OF
the leading bankers, among them the
Men 1elesohns and Bleicherodere, have
refused TO share In the enterprise, and
II Ia aleo threatened that q counter
coalition 10 the company will be
formed, which will seek 10 bind all
spirit producers 10 sell 10 IL at con.
tract rates, retail prices 10 be hIed at
the will OF the company, which will
thus become the ownera OF the
entire domestic production. Many
producers have already contracted
for 100 marks per hectolitre, includ.
Ing the taxes for domestic production.
As an immediate result OF these IN.
mors the thares OF numerous spirit
dlslillis z companies have Tushed up
some 33 per cent. Few voices are
heard championing the cause Of the
consumers, who declare that the mo-
nopoly will lamentably raise prices.
Tho monopolists further aim at the
expectation OF spirits q, such prices M
will destroy competition throughout
the markets OF tho word. The capital
